Terrebonne Parish 24 Hour Booking Records
The Terrebonne Parish Sheriff's Office handles all jail operations for Houma and the surrounding area. The Criminal Justice Complex is at 3211 Grand Caillou Road in Houma.

The booking process at the Criminal Justice Complex runs around the clock. When someone comes in, jail staff take fingerprints and photos. They enter the charges and set a bond amount.

Search Houma 24 Hour Booking Online
The Terrebonne Parish Sheriff's Office gives the public several online tools to look up booking information. The main TPSO Inmate Services page is the starting point for most searches. From there you can check current incarcerations, look up outstanding warrants, and use the attorney case view feature. The system is straightforward and free to use.
The Terrebonne Parish inmate services portal gives you access to current booking records for the Houma area.
The portal shows who is currently in custody at the Criminal Justice Complex in Houma.
Note: The attorney case view on the TPSO site may need separate login credentials that are available through the sheriff's office.
Houma Police Department Arrests
The Houma Police Department handles law enforcement inside the city limits. When HPD officers arrest someone, the inmate gets transported to the Terrebonne Parish Criminal Justice Complex for booking. So while the Houma Police make the initial arrest, the booking record ends up in the parish system under the sheriff's office.
If you want details about a specific Houma Police arrest or need a copy of a police report, contact HPD directly. The sheriff's office has the booking record, but the police department has the incident report and arrest details. These are two different documents that come from two different agencies.
Both the Houma Police and the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff handle arrests in the Houma area. The key difference is jurisdiction. HPD covers the city. The sheriff covers the parish, including parts of Houma that fall outside the city police patrol zones.
Houma Booking Record Access
Booking records in Houma are public under Louisiana law. La. R.S. 44:1 specifically lists booking records as public documents. You can request copies from the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff's Office. The sheriff must respond within a reasonable time period. Fees for copies vary by document type.
La. R.S. 44:3 creates some exemptions. Records connected to pending criminal cases may have limited access. Juvenile arrests are protected under the Louisiana Children's Code. And the statewide criminal history system under La. R.S. 15:587 is closed to the public. But local booking logs at the parish level are separate from that system and remain open. Anyone can view the inmate roster and ask for booking details.
The VINELink system provides another way to track inmates in Terrebonne Parish. It lets you register for free notifications when an inmate's custody status changes. This covers all of Houma and the rest of the parish.
